A little dismayed that the sci-fi "tech futurism" attitude of previous decades is now a beaten, lifeless corpse. Opt-in health features that give you more control over your health? World-ending! But 20 years ago, we were imagining a little wristband-type machine that would be able to non-invasively and routinely analyse blood samples, detecting cancer a decade early, increasing human lifespans, etc.
This pattern is all over the place now. I get there's reasons for it, but let's take into account one thing: throughout history, the luddites/skeptics were rarely right in their apocalyptic predictions. People today may be deciding to drop all smartphones, avoid modern TVs, avoid modern computers and stick to a 2008 barebones ThinkPad, give up music streaming services and run their own email; i.e. refusing any of the time-efficiency gains technology gave us in the last decades and ensuring they'll spend much more time troubleshooting and maintaining tech, taking away from the precious, short time they have on this earth, all to what end?
That hypothetical person, who switches away from all corporate technology because of Apple's CSAM news, is now maintaining their own music library, turning music discovery from something that takes seconds, to taking minutes or hours. A pattern that'll repeat itself throughout their life if they're consistent.
But will Apple users be living in camps, in 2050, because the frog will finally be boiled by then? Or will none of these fears turn out to be real concerns, and CSAM-detection's (just using it as an example, since that seems like a catalyst for many here) errors will be extremely rare and rapidly corrected?
To me, the risk of dystopia is lowered not by those willing to burn it all down and give up modern society, it's lowered by the fact that modern society is too interconnected for these dystopian scenarios to unfold like a novel: laws will be passed, corporations will be pressured by social media campaigns, and the state of the world will remain "mostly acceptable" just like today. Why the endemic pessimism?
